Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
eh, don't you get run over if you're going below 80? well okay i'm stretching it but going AT the speed limit means you're going to get cut off by everyone on the road and that poses a greater safety hazard.

Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
Well all illegalities aside its either a tribut to team 233 or future team 9395.
|
Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
Notice the team 87(mph) or the 139(km/h) reference too...

Also, one kind of funny thing is that quite a few times cops have come up right behind me when I'm doing 75-80mph. And every single time it turns out that they were only trying to get around me, and then they do, and proceed to accelerate up to about 90mph. |

140 km/h :p And.. my guess is the heiroglyphics of the sailboat inbetween the large H and C in which your arrow is pointing at has to mean something.. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT DOES IT MEAN??? Other than that, the only thing I can think of is that if you took your picture 4 miles later then you would of had a really cool number on your trip tick. :D |
Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
I was talking to a police officer I'm friends with about this subject. He says he speeds a little just so he doesn't slow people down. He also told me about the most amazing speeding ticket he ever gave he ever made. He was driving 70 on a 65 mph road and this woman passes him going 80. When he pulls her over he says "Mam I was going 70 on a 65 mph road and you passed me pretty fast. Do you know what that means Mam?" she replies "Yes sir, you were speeding on duty." That takes some guts.

You were on the phone, going 86 mph on I-95 (fairly common), while taking a picture at the same time? Where your knees on the steering wheel? I pray you had your seatbelt on. Now is a good time to emphasize usage of safety glasses... :D

Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
Remember, everyone, it's Tytus. He's used to driving things ridiculously fast.

Cops don't like smartasses. If you're trying to get out of a ticket, this is probably the worst way to do so. |

Roll up on a few nasty accident scenes where you have to cut the car apart to get people out and it will have an effect upon you. I went through the whole invincible period too, but I am no longer invincible in my car, just out on the pitch. :rolleyes: Stay safe, Wetzel |

Speaking of speeding and with the winter weather just around the corner I figured I would post about my incident. I know some of you do not have to worry about snow and ice, but traveling excessive speeds is just as bad on dry roads.
Anyway back in February of 2004 I rolled my vehicle less than two miles from my house while driving too fast for the road conditions. Luckily, I escaped with a two very very very minor injuries, a cut on my pinky from the driver side window shattering and a bruise on my head where the rear view mirror hit me. Surprisingly I even drove the vehicle home, after I removed it from the snow bank, and parked it in the driveway. After the vehicle did a complete flip it landed back on all fours, if that would not have occured I would have most likely sustained many more painful injuries! Anyway at least buckle up, no matter how slow or fast you drive! |

Ok thread revival!
![]() I can do it too :) I took this this morning at about 6:34am..and at a safer speed. It only took me 5 days of driving to and from school. So you can do the math for how far away I live from my school. |

Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
I think Tytus just went faster to get that annoying speed indicator out of our way so we could see the 233. ;)

Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
...That's scary.
We shouldn't let this turn into a "who can take a picture of the trip meter reading 233 while going the fastest"... despite how cool it would be. |

Man, I remember when Montana had no speed limit. It was so awesome. Going 110 in a Ford Explorer with Firestone Wilderness ATs. :ahh: :D
Is there anywhere in the US with no speed limit now? |

Re: pic: See something familiar? #2
An interesting note is that the German Autobahn is statistically much safer than US highways. There are far fewer crashes. However, when a crash does occur, I bet it is pretty bad.
The difference is that their cars don't have cupholders and people don't grab a big mac before happing on the autobahn. They don't talk on the phone while driving either. And a lot of their cars are all quite high performance models. Also, you must drive in the right lane, and pass on the left, and can be heavily fined for not doing so, or for driving too slowly. In Germany, driving is a skillful art, in the US, it is a passive annoyance. |
